Nine years later, I'm going back to the ball. Annalisa's latest adventure, ALL THE WAY GONE, was nominated for an Edgar Award! It's a newer category in honor of the late Sue Grafton, and as a longtime admirer of her work, I'm humbled and grateful for this honor.
Whee!
Yay!

The X-Files - “Arcadia”

Meet the Petries...
Mulder is unfazed by Scully’s face mask in this draft...
So Mulder has seen that face mask before, huh? Interesting

All the nurses love working with Dr. Scully.
Of course, working with Dr. Scully means that you have to work with kids, which is just as strange, because she’s not a pediatrician. Yet, seven out of her ten patients would be under the age of 18, and two out of the remaining three used to be her patients when they were kids.
It isn’t because she hands out lollipops (she doesn’t) nor that she’s funny (she isn’t). It isn’t because she has the best bedside manners (she doesn’t) nor that she’s the only female physician at Our Lady of Sorrows (she isn’t).

Aww. This was cute :-)
been thinking about the x-files place in media and how the show, and mulder and scully’s relationship influences how tv is created. i think any show that is a police procedural with the skeptic/believer dynamic is genuinely inspired mulder and scully. i’m talking about bones, castle, and lucifer among many others.
i enjoy this dynamic but have been wondering why, aside from lacking david and gillian’s chemistry, these shows and ships cannot capture what the x-files and msr did so effortlessly.
i’ve come to a few conclusions.
first: the msr dynamic is misunderstood. people think that this dynamic is man is an annoying manchild and woman puts up with him. the msr dynamic is not that. not really.
mulder is, at his core, a deeply traumatized person on a mission to find his sister who was abducted by aliens. he becomes blinded by his mission, but he is highly intelligent and accomplished on his own. scully is also highly intelligent and accomplished, and they see that about each other in very first scene that meet. there is immediate respect between the, which is VITAL.
i think a lot of modern media thinks that the man has to be kind of an actual idiot (or overly sexual in his advances) at first and the woman has to help him “grow up” when that is not the case with mulder and scully at all. mulder and scully challenge each other’s world views and beliefs and help each other become the fullest versions of themselves, which is not always easy. but it is always with fundamental respect and true friendship. if mulder becomes a more mature and serious person because of scully it’s because of her influence on him, just how he influenced her to have the courage to open herself up to belief in the unknown.
and mulder and scully’s “slow burn” is so iconic because their moments of flirtation and intimacy early on is subtle. but it is there. mulder doesn’t have to ask to see scully’s tits for us to know he wants to. (but it’s a hell of a long time til he does.)
and, unlike instances with caskett and deckerstar - they are not “forced” or tricked to work together, they choose to. they actually refuse to be pulled apart because together, they will find what they’re looking for
which brings me to my next point! i think something a lot of shows don’t do if give a real reason for the copaganda other than it just being copaganda, especially a fantasy show like lucifer. on the x-files, mulder and scully are fbi agents- but them working for the fbi serves for the plot as a way for them to gain access to government secrets and lies by working from within. in a lot of ways, it is a criticism of the fbi and the government at large. mulder and scully are fbi agents because of their mission, their mission is NOT to be fbi agents.
Terminology Thursday: UST
[ID: Two hands with screentoned shading reach towards each other in the style of The Creation of Adam by Michaelangelo, with a glowing light in the middle. The letters UST are superimposed on top of them. /end ID]
Isn’t UST just the sexy sister of Mutual Pining? A beloved trope, Unresolved Sexual Tension is a Thurminology that originated with Mulder/Scully shippers in The X-Files fandom.
UST is mostly found in Slow Burn fic. It can also stand for Unrequited Sexual Tension, in which case one character would angst over the other not sharing their feelings.

no but imagine if the spanish translation had actually had mulder and scully start using the tú forms during the pilot and then during/after their fight in one son scully uses the usted form with him 😭😭
German phile here. I can relate. Do you know when they started using the personal addressing in the German dub? In the “The Truth”, the last episode of the original series? You know what they also did? They changed the lines at the end of “Existence” and replaced the “we/us” to a “me”, so it is never clear that Scully addresses William as her and Mulders son. Also, in the first dubbed promo of IWTB they had Mulder and Scully address each other formally again, but thankfully Frank Spotnitz pulled some stings and had that changed before the movies had been dubbed entirely - of course they replaced Mulder original dubbing actor Benjamin Völz with some bland sounding duded whose voice you forget 3 seconds after you heard it. Good think I never watched a dubbed version of the show again after The Truth.
X-files Dog Ending
autumn is really like. i brought you some sunlight from when you were 10. didn't the world feel so bright to you then? i'll drench your hands in syrupy nostalgia, so everything you make is stained bittersweet. i'll ruffle your hair with an ice-kissed breeze--it'll be the kindest touch you've had in years. you finally feel like a part of something grander. i'm the last warm hand you hold before winter surrender.
Why did tumblr make the x files seem so romantic like i was expecting mulder being all romantic and stuff and being like the best boyfriend/husband material in the world then i watched the show and saw nothing of it where is all the romantic shit.
The X-Files is incredibly romantic, but it’s not going to be romance the way you’re used to seeing romance on television.
It is not going to be forced and it is not going to be fast. They are not going to fall into bed with each other in the first season or two, you are not going to listen to them profess their undying love to each other in so many words.
What you get are two people, two total opposites, put together with the intention of destroying each other but in turn, end up saving each other. You get to watch them grow from acquaintances, to friendly co-workers, to best friends, to lovers. But by the time they get there, by the time they get to the part that other couples on television seem to jump right into, it doesn’t even matter because they’re already each other’s everything.
So you don’t see them go on typical dates. But you see them bonding in shitty diners across the country, in rental cars on long stretches of dark highway, sitting on rocks in the water or on benches in small town America or on forest floors. They don’t talk of their feelings in so many words, they don’t use flowery prose to make sure the other person knows how they feel but they fight for each other, lie for each other, die for each other, go to battle together, be the only person the other person trusts.
So Mulder is not the best boyfriend/husband in the world but he’s the best partner Scully’s ever had, the love of her life, the father of her child but he’s also her best friend. It is a foundation of trust, loyalty, respect before love even enters the equation.
And Scully is not the best girlfriend/wife in the world, but she’s the only person who’s ever made Mulder feel like he’s worth a damn, like he deserves something in this world.
So The X-Files is absolutely romantic and I think if you don’t see that, then it’s because you’re looking for romance in all the wrong ways.
